a brutal police crackdown alcide parliament the night before. and the fiery rages sweeps of the greek capital as protesters and police a slug it out in front of parliament with up to a million people walking out of work and a resulting no to austerity. it's eleven pm here in moscow you're watching r t live with me say a gun battle reported erupted inside the army headquarters in syria's capital damascus after the complex was rocked by two postal explosions four people have been killed in the suicide attacks carried out by the rebel free syrian army artie's policia is in the region. two massive explosions rocked the syrian capital

of damascus on the waynes day about what accounts they were targeting the military command center of the damascus regime now the moment the blast was caught on c.c.t.v. cameras if you look at it as footage that was released by the government you can see a white van driving past the military headquarters before it exploded according to syrian state television there world cost suicide bombers that detonated these explosions there also reporting that four military guards died and an additional fourteen people were injured among them military personnel as well as civilians now the bloss occurred just ten minutes apart from each other with the first one happening at just before seven o'clock local time on wednesday morning they also happened near a landmark square in damascus the result was that they shattered the glass of windows of nearby buildings and several residents kilometers away reported hearing the blast making them possibly the loudest explosions that have happened in the

city of damascus since fighting broke out there several months ago most of wednesday saw damascus covered with thick smoke and this was as a result of the fires that also broke out in this heavily guarded military compound building the rebel group the free syrian army has claimed responsibility for this attack making it the second such attack in just as many days that rebels have claimed responsibility for and they come just one day after rebels blew up a school building in damascus which they say was being used for military training so what we're witnessing is almost a trend if you like but certainly an intensification of the fighting happening in damascus in the number of attacks that are being carried out by rebel fighters. iran's press t.v. channels as its correspondent mayan mess has been shot dead by a sniper while reporting on about today's twin blasts in damascus. spend some time in syria covering the conflict and knew him personally i met.

on one of my trips to damascus i was the one who actually reached out to him i wrote to him on twitter saying that we should form a collage of the wrong side of history of quarters that city reference to one of the white house official commas that iran russia china was on the wrong side of history when it comes to syria now he responded in a very humorous manner as well meyer was a very well known reporter in damascus he was receiving a lot of graphs for his reporting both by phone and on his twitter account anyone could see it i relied on his knowledge sometimes on his contacts extensively as did a lot of reporters he was reporting for an iranian station but he was a syrian and he obviously took a great care about his own country and he was concerned about what was happening there and he wanted to bring what he saw as the truth to the rest of the world

because he always tried to go and talk to various factions within the syrian society because it was his country. wealth and journalists afshin rattansi things that the syrian conflict could lead to events while words the nine eleven terror attacks. it's the free syrian army the people that carried out the attack on the iranian quds who is the free syrian army anyway these are nato backed militants the free syrian army is a nato backed militant outfit i know people that oppose assad all their lives they are against the free syrian army and it is interesting to see what the tactics of this nebulous group obviously know like to al-qaeda what their tactics are going to be they obviously have no compunction of killing civilians and it is a war nine eleven was nothing as what may happen if the wobblies backed by nature when the americans get to power in syria. the united nations general assembly is in

internet second day in new york one of the day's most anticipated speeches was that of iran's president mahmoud ahmadinejad another one was the debut of egypt's president mohamed morsi and marina part of ny are full of both in new york. the u.s. delegation in the israeli delegation boycotted president ahmadinejad's speech due to. israel's remarks he made since arriving in new york a few days ago in addition the canadian delegation walked out in the midst middle of his speech now during the speech that he made to the world body he accused the u.s. and european union of entrusting themselves to the devil he accused these rallies or rather he referred to the israelis as uncivilized zionists he accused america and its european allies of bullying countries around the world into making decisions that are best for the west but what was interesting in his speech is that

he actually made somewhat of an occupy wall street reference when he was criticizing the presidential election in the u.s. the election system in europe he said that hundreds of millions of dollars are being spent on campaign spending and as a result ninety nine percent of the voting population their voices are being ignored the egyptian president addressed the general assembly for the first time at the beginning of his speech he said the first issue of the u.s. the u.n. must solve is to establish a sovereign and independent palestine independent state he said this is a issue that's been in order for too long and if the international community supported the arab spring they should support the determinations of the palestinian people but that he did take time to address the. film that has sparked so much anti-american sentiment in in the arab world he said the easier some

individuals to it and the insults of the prophet muhammad will not be accepted he said the obscenity the recent obscenity these were released he referred to it as an organized campaign against islamic to seize hold them unacceptable. he was referring to this anti islam film that was made in the u.s. and uploaded to you tube he said that egypt stands firm against the use of violence in expressing objections to any kind of criticism but at the same time he said while it's egypt respects freedom of expression it's that freedom of expression should not be directed towards one specific religion or culture he stressed several times throughout the speech that egypt will not tolerate anyone who criticizes their religion or the prophet mohammad to discuss in more detail what was said at the un general assembly let's join us soraya support paul rake and independent

research and writer who's joining us right now live on our team which is see you there now the u.s. has decided to ignore medina judd's address dismissing it as paranoid do you think it was apparent speaking when he accused the un of being controlled by a small number of world politics and i do believe mr amin. was paranoid or he had to say it or that he's paranoid but i find very few people really is that the united states mr obama in fact yesterday that he chooses to it says diplomacy before resorting to other means and diplomacy is engagement you do not boycott the speech because you don't like to hear what is being said the side of the opposite is true you could listen to what the party has to say grievances and they're going to come to terms with it i mean iran has to sit through a whole bunch of stuff that is not exactly fashion well speaking about not everything

about him being flattering iran's leader has been branded as an aggressive dictator but his latest speech was one of words like love peace and justice is a looking for a new approach to his rivals or just softening towards the end of his term. mr ahmadinejad has always spoken of social justice often. it's always about how those words are being interpreted and who interprets them i think that he sincerely believes that there is a great deal of injustice going on in his repeated this in the past and in the fact that he is opposed to the status quo and the role of the united nations is nothing new in his speech today he did say something some new things which were delightful and that was that the want to send money buying goods etc that he has always held that there is injustice and his oldest believed in brotherhood and equality so i don't think is a person to soften the so it's been the same let's talk about some of the other key

speakers today david cameron today joined the presidents of the u.s. and france saying there must be an urgent transition of paul in syria but none of those three condemned the recent terror attacks in damascus why. well i think there are many aspects into this for one thing i think the european allies specifically america they've always supported terrorists and even mrs clinton is on the record as having saying having said this america great outside it has in fact not recently this last week and marketed the list from its foreign terrorist organization terrorist cult the m e k who killed americans and iranians galore so they always like to engage terrorists so this would give them an opportunity to sit on the ground and i'm i'm sure many few viewers would know that in two thousand and

eight dennis ross the pro israeli hawkish dennis ross met with a syrian opposition group and in two thousand and nine the united states funded the opposition radio t.v. el baradei t.v. in london. so definitely london england would have been aware of the fact that propaganda against the regime was being forced into syria and they had a hand in unsettling syria include locating the protestors and with the blessings of the united states and england who's a big arms supplier to the arab states saudi arabian regime they would not be smuggling arms the syrians the syrian opposition so they are complicit and there are these facts that are taking place all the incidents that the finest you see in syria i'm going to have to just jump in there i'm so sorry but i have just run out of time thank you very much for your analysis and viewpoints so i asked.

independent research and write a thank you for joining us tonight. and a world leaders one be the only ones addressing those gathered at the u.n. headquarters in new york general sondra still hiding in the aca dorian embassy in london despite his status as a political refugee and will also make an appearance of via a video link we will bring you that exclusively live on wednesday at twenty two thirty g.m.t. . i was here i. know. there. was the. the ok i'll be back with more in a few minutes to stay with us. the

sun rises over what seems like analyst forest to hear in the new directions cry for hundred kilometers north of light of all storm as in much of the world it's disappearing at a catastrophic rate. bloggers both illegal and those finding ways to outsmart the system and filing down the forests of the region for them profit goes well beyond the future of our planet and the result could be an ecological crisis the world wildlife fund for nature makes regular trips to help local rangers do what little they can to stop the logging but it's not easy logger set up trucks making them hard to reach in an already rough terrain and have mastered ways to jump through legal loopholes this is a nature reserve we're only sanitary logging of disease trees is allowed according

to law and not a single berry can be picked but loggers like this use their sanitary logging permit to cut down absolutely healthy trees and sell the profitable to member over the border in china we are on the hunt for illegal loggers and it's not going to be easy to forests or nets in our chances are slim now for now we can stay in our dreams but as soon as we find solid tracks we'll have to drop our wheels and get out silently in order not to scare the loggers off alexander someone in ca has been a ranger for over twenty five years he can spend weeks at a time tracking a single group of loggers easier to work when snow falls in autumn it's impossible to find human tracks and even transport tracks are hard to see after hours of driving we get sent in the right direction by word of mouth you can see that the ground just soft here which means that the twelve the tractor trails are very fresh which in fact means that we need to be quiet. nor to not scare them off as we get

closer. this team says they're illegal but have no documents now xander can now call the police to take over his work here is done he is overwhelmingly outnumbered there are too few rangers working in the promote the region and the w w f says the government isn't doing enough to stop it i guess the government now as i started city for more whole forest legislation so assumes the pals and so on regards a new forest court and according to. every forest the guys in waltham in the in the forest to the still exist so our forest courts deal doesn't work just you should do it as no one tries to stop them in just five years the force will be gone they'll sell it all to china what will the people who live afterwards do like it's a question more and more people are aware of today climate change in the safety of our environment as a whole are being discussed around the world and perhaps it's those small steps

that might be a start to people living in harmony with nature. going to be so much brighter if you move the balance from funds to christianize. stock totty dot com. you're watching r t we're moving over to spain now it's around two in madrid a with minor clashes erupting already as tens of thousands of protesters return to the streets around the spanish parliament that despite a merciless police crackdown last night with more than one hundred demonstrators

has been dispersed some seeing this as a potential for police to move in make sure the areas clear of any traffic before they do move in to disperse those who have amassed here today now earlier on there have been some minor scuffles between demonstrators and police but nothing really so far in comparison to what transpired late last evening that's when we saw police charging at protesters with their backs and they also fired rubber bullets in their direction also resulted in about over sixty people being injured in proceedings there some police in those numbers as well and about thirty people being detained as well there have been accusations since and of excessive use of force courses and . there's demonstrations take place tonight and took plates place late last night been part of that. occupy called breast movement also around congress movement the idea behind it being to try and force them to listen to that and to your stereo to
